3D Your Own Eyes, No More Glasses

Who's got two thumbs and needs glasses to see 3D? Not this guy! Francois Vogel's figured out a way to remove those pesky spectacles from the
equation, and he's ready to revolutionize the stereoscopic industry forever. Sure, you'll need a monitor with a 120Hz refresh rate, but that's a
prerequisite these days anyhow, and the rest is sweet, sticky gravy dished directly to your eyeballs. Get a sneak peek at the game-changing tech in
the video above, and keep an eye out for unicorns (we're sure they're around here somewhere). You'll never look at 3D the same way again, we promise.

WTF man, that is just freaky looking! Who the hell would want to sit through 2 hours of that?
Kudos for thinking outside of the box I guess, but....
Oh no, I bet these things start getting sold on the black market for recreational 3d trips.

Seriously, guys, if you want 3D, just do as I have been doing for ages. Using food coloring, drop a
few drops of red dye in one eye, and then drop a few drops of blue dye in the other. Bang, instant 3D.

On a serious note, I am not really into the 3D technology, mainly out of paranoia of system. After learning about all the crap in the food and water,
corrupt business, et al., I am just leery of anything they are pushing mainstream. I am fine with my old TV. Nonetheless, interesting post.

stare at the picture, and cross your eyes until you see 3 pictures side by side. then focus on the one in the middle until it clears up. you cant be
too close to your monitor for this.. if it doesnt work at first, move back from your screen a bit.

if you get it to work, you'll see the image jumps out at you and looks like you could touch it

you can do this with any picture, as long as they are side by side like this and high quality

Oh dear, I reallllyy hope the OP and teh subsequent people who thought this was real, are pulling our legs... Honestly?!??! LMAO...

But they are making glass-less 3D monitors, using lenticular lenses. The effects are varied and you don't have the option of much movement from the
'sweet' spot but apparently the results are worth people spending time investigating.

Also using the same technology, they are making 3D cameras that had a display on the back that allows you to actually view the image in 3D, but
unfortunately, you need to send the images off to the company to print out on special lenticular prints in order to have them physically.

I still like the above posters method, proper stereography. Back in the old days they had a device called a stereograph which used this images, and
separated the 2 images on front of your eyes, so you didn't need to manually cross your eyes, and instead it was like looking into pair of binoculars
that gave you a good representation of a 3D image.

But then, if people believe this was real (this thread) and some of you even go so far as to say that it scares you because the boogie NWO man, stick
to your transistor radios, your black and white tv and we'll leave ya to it

Yeah that's old news.

Have you heard of the 3DS? If I recall correctly it uses pixels that from the right angle sends half the pixels from the screen to the left eye and
the other half to the right eye at different speed to create the 3d effect without glasses.

Finally, there is an emerging area called cyberdildonics, which relates to interactive gear and toys that can enhance the online cybersex
experience with actual physical sensations. Vivid Entertainment, the world's biggest producer of adult films, for example, has been experimenting
with cyberdildonics. Proud of its reputation as a company that's been on the frontline of technology, it has a functioning $200 Cyber Sex Suit —
a neoprene bodysuit with 36 electronic sensors in the chest, inner thighs, and other erogenous zones that transmit heat, cold, and vibrations. A
person can send a signal to a DVD player via a remote, which then goes over the Internet, into the wearer's computer, and to the suit via a
connector. Vivid Entertainment's lawyers, however, fear that someone might have a heart attack while wearing the suit, so the company has put it
on the shelf for the near future.

The article is from September, 2001.

I also recall a random E episode I saw one time, back before 2007 that was dealing with some of the various cultural aspects of Japan - one of those
being a suit, similar to the ones described, being developed for online social interactions.

That said - 'goggle-less' 3d has been around for some time, and has only recently become remotely marketable. It seems a bit too limited for me,
honestly. I'd rather put the money into a true, quality LED display over 3d that kinda-sorta works if you're in the right spot. I watch movies as
a social thing, and those are going to be some of the larger 3d markets (that, and games - but consoles are going to have to grow some more powerful
graphics units to use 3d displays without sacrificing quite a bit of detail).

I knew it was only a matter of time before they tried the "virtual boy" again, though. I used to have one of those (probably still do, somewhere) -
and while the console was certainly a marketing failure - I honestly found it to be quite enjoyable. Although the red-only got a little old....

It hasn’t even been a year since 3D televisions and their accompanying 3D glasses began hitting store shelves, but a development by Toshiba is
already threatening to make the 3D glasses obsolete. Last week, the company became the first major television maker to announce TVs that produce
pictures with the illusion of depth but don’t require glasses.
